we'll renew our commitment to help grow the quality of life for all of our citizens, both those who voted for me and those who voted for someone else. >> now mitt romney has already weighed in saying the failed attempt to recall wisconsin's governor shows that voters want to cut runaway government spending. >> and government cost imposed by labor bosses. so some battles with the unions clearly going to be part of this election. >>> also republican lawmakers have blocked a democratic effort calling for equal pay in the workplace. not a single republican voted for the bill, a point that most certainly democrats will use as a political tool as one more chapter in the so-called war on women continues. and democrats, meanwhile, they are vowing to continue to fight for passage of the bill. you guys get 77 cents for every $1 that a man makes. scary. >> it is a little scary that republicans will justify it, i wanted to know exactly why. they believe that the paycheck fairness act would have allowed the government to second-guess employee wages, encourage lawsuits, and would also violate employee

but if romney can squeak out a win in one or both states, it would show that he can appeal to the conservative base. romney's trying to rain on santorum's southern parade. it was romney who was all wet. >> this could be an election that comes down to a very small margin between the three people running here most aggressively. >> reporter: this race could go on for months. but of the four republican candidates, only romney has a clear path to the nomination. and that magic number of 1,144 delegates. for santorum newt gingrich and ron paul the best they can hope for is to throw up a roadblock and maybe force a convention fight. >> it sounds like someone who's been listening to math class. >> reporter: the math may be on romney's side, but he still has his work cut out for him. a new abc news/"washington post" poll found that only 66% of republicans said that they would be satisfied with romney as their nominee. and only 31% said they actually want to see him win the nomination. but for now that may be enough. that same poll found that in a head-to-head match-up romney has a slight edge over pres
